The Spud Software Difference

When vetting a software company it's important to understand why more companies choose Spud to provide their software solutions.

You Own the Code

It is important to make sure that the custom software solution you are paying for is owned by you. If you ever want to change companies, bring the work in house or sell the software, you want to make sure you own it.

You Own the Data

It is hard to believe, but we still know companies that got involved with the wrong suppliers only to find out they don't own the data. Some companies will say you own the data, but not provide a method to export it without a huge cost. We make sure that your data is your data and if you ever need it, you can get it.

You Own the Intellectual Property

We have a Master Service Agreement (MSA) that spells this out with all the fun legal speak, but we like to make it simple. If it is proprietary to your business, we keep it confidential. To keep you covered, we request all confidential and proprietary documentation is marked accordingly and all our staff has signed confidentiality agreements. And here's another reason for using a local company like Spud: How can you hold someone accountable if they aren't in the United States?

Realistic Ongoing Costs

Depending on the project, there may be ongoing costs. They could be as small as hosting or could involve call center support. Some of our clients are constantly changing their processes and purchase billable hours in advance for additional savings. We will be open and honest about what the ongoing costs are prior to starting any project.

Impressive Resume

Spud has done work for companies of all sizes, from Fortune 500 companies to start-ups with investors. With 20 years of experience and a wide range of clients, Spud can bring a ton of experience and understanding of what works.

100% American Owned and Operated

Our in-house developers do all the work. We never sub-contract to offshore companies. We've seen the work they do and their data formats, the flow of the programs and overall functionality isn't always consistent with how Americans do things. There may be some great offshore development firms out there, we just haven't heard of any.

You get a custom programming solution from a local tech company that is there for you every step of the way.

Spud Software provides comprehensive solutions for your business:

Custom Programming

If you have an internal IT development team that is overbooked or no IT resources at all, we can help. If your company is going through a growth spurt and the current way of doing business isn't cutting it, we can help. Whether you're expanding locations, increasing staff or client base, launching a new product/service, consolidating systems, and/or need existing systems to communicate, we have the experience to make it happen.

If you are looking for ways to streamline operations, including system integrations, replacing old software, eliminating duplicate data entry, eliminating paper processes or need to better track production/staff and hold people accountable, we can create a solution that fits your needs. If you have a project where the wheels are falling off the cart and you need someone to come in and get it back on track and properly completed, we can get it done for you.

Project Scoping

Companies come to Spud for help creating RFQ's and/or budgetary proposals to be submitted for bid consideration or used in-house for putting together company plans and budgets. Depending on your needs, a project can be scoped at a high level quickly, or it can be detailed to the point that any software company should be able to take the documentation and develop a solution. Whether Spud is developing the end solution or not, we follow the same process as if we were doing the development from beginning to end.

Project Management

Because Spud takes such pride in the projects we take on, we feel it is important to make sure it's clear WHO is responsible for the delivery of the project. Because there may be multiple players involved in a project, it is important to define who is responsible for the deliverables right out of the gate. If everyone is in charge, no one is in charge, and to properly complete a project on time and within budget, someone needs to run the show.

Spud prefers to take on that responsibility. In short, we play well with others. We have the experience to get things done and motivate the rest of the team to stay on task and meet their milestones. We excel at bringing people together and realize that if anyone fails along the way, we all fail. At the same time, when a project succeeds, we have ALL succeeded.

Consulting

We will be your business advisor and partner in defining your processes. When you come to us with a problem, we are excited to work with you to find the best solution based on your situation, timing requirements and budget. Our 20 years of experience with companies across diverse industries gives us a distinct advantage. We share our experiences with our clients to help them better understand their own operations through documenting and streamlining internal systems and processes.

We share our experiences with our clients to help them better understand their own operations through documenting and streamlining internal systems/processes. Because we have been exposed to such different industries, we are very well-rounded and we have exposure to a lot of different ways of doing things. We help our clients by passing those experiences on to them to help them better understand their operations.
